Complimentary Resources from Charis Bible College

Introducing more complimentary resources from Charis Bible College! Every believer in Jesus is called to be a minister; some are called to pastor, some to evangelize, and some to prophesy. But all believers are called to make disciples. Charis Bible College was birthed out of Andrew's desire to see believers discipled. Charis is an extension of Andrew Wommack Ministries, and like AWM, Charis also offers free teachings to help people grow in their walk with the Lord. Since its founding in 1994, Charis has grown rapidly as more and more people have attend online or at one of the many Charis campuses across the globe. Many attend either to answer a call from God in preparation for ministry or just to develop their own personal relationship with the Lord. Graduates leave with a greater understanding of who God is, who they are, and what God has called them to do. We hope you will take advantage of the many teachings that are archived on the Charis website. Follow the link below to access the video teachings and other resources. Take Me There!

Save the Date!  To raise awareness about NAS across Tennessee, we are asking individuals to wear Pearls and Bowties for Babies on Friday, October 4. We encourage you to invite your family, friends and coworkers can participate and post their photos on social media using the hashtag #NASMONTHTN. During the month of October, Tennessee is observing Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Awareness Month. Over the last decade, opioid use in the United States and Tennessee has rapidly increased, causing an alarming number of babies born with NAS, a set of withdrawal symptoms a newborn may experience as a result of prenatal exposure to prescription drugs or heroin. A suggested post could be as simple as, "A baby's life shouldn't begin with detox. I'm wearing my pearls/bowtie today to support NAS awareness in TN. #NASMONTHTN" We look forward to seeing your photos on Friday, October 4! Please invite your friends to join us! SBIRT Training: October 25 This training will equip providers, nurse practitioners, nurses, residents and office managers to: understand the disease process of addiction, recognize the risk factors and causes of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, understand the process of SBIRT (an evidence-based screening tool) to assess risk for substance abuse in patients, and learn ways to implement and administer brief interventions. Pre-registration is required for all participants to ensure an accurate number for lunch. There is a $20 fee to attend. Register Today!
